  • Comment If you expand your Google search beyond "news", this is one of the first sources that comes up. Having a park named after him suggests that there may be some notability somewhere, so perhaps there's more. It's not a good article, but that in itself is not a reason to delete. -- Randykitty ( talk) 08:52, 8 August 2016 (UTC) reply
"Some notability", "perhaps notable" is not WP:GNG. Marvellous Spider-Man ( talk) 14:15, 8 August 2016 (UTC) reply
  • I was, albeit admittedly rather obliquely, referring to WP:BEFORE... If I can come up with 2 sources like this in literally 30 sec, I don't exclude there's more. I don't feel like spending more time on this, so I did not do that searching (nad hence didn't !vote), but strongly suggest you have another look at this. -- Randykitty ( talk) 14:20, 8 August 2016 (UTC) reply
If this politician has actually won any election which can be verified through reliable sources, then it can be kept. Now I have read WP:POLITICIAN and WP:SIGCOV and Lagos is big city 1, 2. So they have many reliable newspapers with online versions Category:Nigerian news websites, Category:Newspapers published in Nigeria and Category:Nigerian websites. So if this guy is notable he would have been covered in few of these reliable Nigerian sources. And google news Nigeria has some mention about his death.

  • Delete - unremarkable politician who fails WP:GNG. Google results only come up with his death and the park named after him expect maybe this which is a sort of COI. — Oluwa2Chainz »» ( talk to me) 21:59, 10 August 2016 (UTC) reply

  • Delete -- fails GNG per available sources; I'm only finding a brief mention here about his death. BTW, he's discussed there as a businessman and a financial backer, not a politician. K.e.coffman ( talk) 06:38, 26 August 2016 (UTC) reply
  • Delete as nothing here is actually amounting to convincing notability and substance. SwisterTwister talk 06:48, 26 August 2016 (UTC) reply
